Please donate to the JFK Presidential Library and Museum

January 20, 2011 will mark the 50th Anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's Inauguration. His ideals and values still resonate these five decades later.

During his short tenure, President Kennedy accomplished an extraordinary amount: the fight for civil rights, the call for public service, the peaceful removal of nuclear missiles from Cuba, the eloquent defense of West Berlin and a free Germany, the creation of the Peace Corps, the commitment to space travel and technology, and the recognition of the importance of the arts to our society.

It is imperative that together we continue to keep his legacy alive so that younger generations will know about his achievements, and draw inspiration in charting their own courses as future leaders.

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation is much more than a museum. We breathe new life into the President Kennedy's legacy, values and vision every single day.

In addition to the 200,000 visitors who tour the museum's award-winning exhibits each year, we also reach thousands of school children who experience history come alive through our education programs. Further, our distinguished Kennedy Library Forum series features some of the greatest minds discussing the most pressing topics of the day.
